SANITARY DEVICE Filed June 22, 1932 INVENTOR BY myww@ HIS ATTOR N EYS Patented Nov. 27, 1934 SANITARY m vrca Stanislaw Jakala. Chicago, Ill. Application June 22, 1932, Serial No. 618,778

1 Claim.

This invention relates to certain novel improvements in sanitary devices, and has for its principal object .the provision of an improved construction of this character which will be 5 highly emcient in use and economical in manu-.

facture.

It is an object of this invention to provide a new, useful and relatively inexpensive device for male use for preventing the spread of infectious i diseases.

Another object of the invention is to provide novel means embodied in the device for keeping the same in position on the wearer without mterfering with the wearer's comfort or the natlii ural course of the disease. a I

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.

20 The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, showing the preferred form of construction and in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the invention; m. 2 is an end elevational view on line 2-2 in Fig. 3 is a view partly in section and partly in elevation, on line 3-3 in Fig. 2; a

Fig. 4 is a view partly in section and partly in elevation, on line 4-4 in Fig. 3; and

.Fig. 5 is a plan view, partly in section, on line 5-5 in Fla. 3. In the drawing my improved sanitary device is generally indicated atm and includes a subas stantially semi-oval-shaped pouch or receptacle 11 having an open end 12 for the reception of the male organ. This pouch 11 may be made of any suitable material, but is preferably made of rigid or non-flexible material that is easily washed and kept clean such as, for example, metal. To secure the pouch or receptacle 11 upon the male organ I provide a ring 13 through which the organ is introduced into the pouch or receptacle 11. This ring 13 is continuous with a pair of arms 14 which have end portions 15; These end portions15 are angled to conform to the curvature of the wall of the pouch or receptacle 11; these and portions 15 being secured to the wall of the pouch or receptacle 11 in any suitable manner. I

To prevent the organ from engaging the walls of the pouch or receptacle 11 while permitting the discharge associated with the natural course of the disease, I provide in the pouch or receptacle 4 11 a member 16 which includes a portion 17 (Figs.

2 and 4) that is substantially U-shaped in plan so as to encircle the organ. The member 16 includes other portions or arms 18 that are integral with the portion 1'7. These arms 18 are attached to the wall of pouch or receptacle 11.

The member 16 as well as the pouch 11 and the ring 13 may be made in various sizes and shapes to assure comfort to the wearer. When the device is worn the organ is disposed in the U-shaped portion 16 and is prevented thereby as from engaging the walls of the pouch or receptacle 11. A space 20 is thus provided between the portion 17 and the end wall 19 of the pouch or receptacle 11. The discharge associated with the natural course of the disease may thenilow into this space unimpeded since the organ is thus prevented from engaging the walls of the pouch 11.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my 15 invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification, without departing from the spirit of the invention. 1, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such so 'variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

A sanitary device for male use comprising a substantially semi-oval-shaped rigid receptacle provided with a relatively large open end, a member including a pair of arms having angled end portions extending outwardly in opposed direcac tions with respect to each otherand followin the curvature of the inner wall of the receptacle and secured thereto, said arms extending exteriorly from the receptacle at its lower end, a

ring-like portion formed on the exteriorly extendas ing ends of the arms and disposed at an outward inclination in front of said open end, a member in said receptacle having portions corresponding to the curvature of'the latter and attached thereto, and said last-mentioned member including a substantially U-shaped portion the arms of which provide a stop and are spaced from the inner end wall of said receptacle.
